OPEN WMS™

Warehouse Management System Now Affordable & Easy-to-Implement

One of the largest cash expenses in distribution or manufacturing is the cost of inventory. The more information and control you have over your inventory, the better chance you have to manage it, reduce expenses and optimize cash flow.

Affordable Open Wireless Warehouse Management System

OpenWMS™ is a proven state-of-the-art, easy-to-implement warehouse management system that is scalable to your operation. It includes a proven WMS system, RF & RFID Portable Data Collection Terminals (PDTs), RF & RFID Access Points for broad roaming coverage in your facility, and the requisite interface to your network. This system has helped many companies better manage inventory, shipping/receiving, operations and cash flow.

Automate Picking, Packing, Shipping & Put-Away

OpenWMS equips your workers with RF & RFID portable data terminals (PDTs) to more efficiently perform operations such as directed put-away, picking, packing, shipping and receiving. Inventory data is updated instantly and continuously in your central computer system for maximum control and operational efficiency, for improved customer service and cash flow. Billings and reorders can be automated.

Better Manage Your Supply Chain

OpenWMS is designed to help contain costs and improve operations in your supply chain too. No longer do you need to bear the expense of excess merchandise, raw materials or finished goods inventories. Instead, you can schedule smaller, more frequent deliveries based on customer buying patterns. At the same time you can improve efficiency in your raw material put-away, picking, staging and reordering activities. As finished goods come out of your chain, you can ship goods sooner and get paid faster.

Microsoft^® Server Operating Systems/SQL Based for Easy Development & Access to Information

OpenWMS is an open-architecture system for Microsoft^® Server Operating Systems/SQL environments. It helps manage all your relevant information and makes it easily available with menu-driven Windows-based reports on your orders, stock, and shipments. Wireless PDTs help you instantly gather information from the plant floor, warehouse or loading docks and speeds the data to your host computer. The system improves accuracy and timeliness of information and helps reduce order fulfillment and production cycle time. Moreover, the system can help minimize errors, and thereby provides better data for operational, financial and general business management.

State-of-the-Art Radio Frequency Automatic Data Communications

OpenWMS employs state-of-the-art PDTs to deliver sub-second response times between workers and your central computer. The RF architecture is in “open industry standards” so that you can easily expand the system as needed. We represent the leading PDT manufacturers, including Datalogic, DAP, Hand Held Products, Intermec, LXE, Monarch and Motorola.
